Ok, I'll bite. Maybe I'm missing something, but isn't chance the entire point of rock-paper-scissors? In that case, how would observing your opponent have any affect on the result?
Though I guess I'm backwards enough to have grown up calling it "Paper Rock Scissors", so I might be oblivious to something here.
- Jtsummers 13y agoBack in grade school, against certain opponents, I could "intuit" their plays. In retrospect, I was probably doing something akin to what the robot here does (recognized what their hand was forming before I make my play) + discerning a pattern in their plays. Also, at this point I have no idea why we played rock-paper-scissors so much in 3rd grade, but we did.
